Cortexa Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when you visit Cortexa websites or use services located on a Cortexa website or mobile or desktop application (an “App”) (collectively, the “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing such information. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect: (i) through our Services, and (ii) in text and electronic messages between you and our Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other Cortexa services or any information collected by us offline or via third-party sites that may be accessed through hyperlinks on our Services.

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES.

Please read the information below:

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect several types of information about visitors and/or users of our Services. We may collect this information either directly when you provide it to us or automatically as you navigate through the Websites or App.

We will collect and process your personal data when you register for a Service/create an account, register for training, complete an e-learning module, submit feedback, enter a contest, fill out a survey, or send us a communication. When ordering products or services on the Websites or App, you may also be asked to provide a credit card number and other payment-related information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. We also collect your Internet Protocol (‘IP’) address.
We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers and/or software, and/or to administer our Services and to gather demographic information.

We may collect certain information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Such information tells us about your equipment, browsing actions, the resources that you access and use through the Services, such as your operating system and browser type. We use analytics and similar services, as explained in our Cookie Policy, to help us to deliver a better and more personalised service to users by enabling us to estimate usage patterns, customise our Services according to your individual preferences, and speed up your searches.

When you download our App and use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use and the operating system version, so we know the best version of the application to provide you. We do not ask you for, access, or track any location-based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or using our App or Services.

When you contact us for customer support we may collect additional information to resolve your issue.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to the transfer, storing and processing of your data in the EU. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by Cortexa. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
